There is a healing peptide thread going around with some great info on it. I'll see if I can find it for you.

No deca wont do anything for pain. I have bulging discs l4/5 along with with disc degeneration and nerve impingement. The only thing that made mine better is core work, stretches and physio but i still get flare ups if i do something stupid. Not sure if that will help u cos ur disc are near your neck? How did it happen anyway?

I don't think any AAS will help. Possibly some HG would help. But I've watched some podcasts on disc issues. There's a treatment called Regenakine. They take plasma out of your blood and inject it back into affected areas. It's been talked about to be the most affective treatment. Idk where treatment facilities are. Or how much it costs. But I'm sure uncle Google can answer those questions for you.

Thats prp, platelet rich plasma. Good to reduce inflammation, same way as cortisone etc just a different mechanism of anti inflammation..

Thing is with this stuff it doesn't do much in terms if healing. Initially with the inflammation down your body will heal anything it can. But stuff like discs and degeneration and impingement isnt going to be cured with steroids or any other injectable or medication. Id recommend physio, get to know what you need to do to manage with your problems, have a treatment plan and maintenance plan. You have the issues now its about managing it, slowing it down and reducing flare ups. Then once you know what you can and cant do.. go get an injection, cortisone or prp ot any of whatever the dr says and that basically will keep the pain away untill you need it again. Key thing is at this stage it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to maintain rehab and maintenance exercises and physio or whatever you need aftet this injection. Don't slack off. And also just because there is no pain doesn't mean you can go and do the shit you couldn't do when there was pain. Im talking movements etc here. Why? Because it will just cause damage and make your condition worse and the worst part about it is that you won't feel it or know it untill the injection wears off in a couple of months and the pain has just gotten 10x worse and the scans look 10 x worse too. Thats why i don't recommend injections straight away. Live with ibuprofen for now until you have it under control.

That said youll have to assess your individual situation to ensure your doing whats best

Goodluck bro, ive currently got an impingement now and im basically paralysed lol

you ever find a solution? TB500?

Ive had my issues with herniated discs. I found deca(prefer NPP)helped me quite abit actually. Its puts water in the joints, helps heal cartilage. Your discs are like joints in your spine. I felt enough relief to train but stopped bent over barbell rows, squats, etc. Hack squats are great, keeps back supported whole time.

Keep in mind everyone is different, might not help you. But I would give it shot. I used it straight for 2 yrs and my MRI showed healing of the disc. Best thing you can do is keep active cause being still will weaken your muscles, which support your back, and will be even more susceptible to injuries.


Whatever you do, surgery should be last option. These Dr.s make a lot on them. Its can take months to heal a disc, but I have done it.

i agree they want to push monthly appointments and surgeries like crazy on you

Funny i find myself back on this thread, i was about to post my own

Exactly one day after i postd my reply here i woke up with some bad neck/back pain. Over the next week i saw a physio twice that helped with muscular pain. But thats when i realised i had radiating pain and numbness going down my arm. Not a fkn good sign for nerves

So a few more days an and MRI later i basically have the same tbing as you. My main issue is at the c6-7 though with the protrusion and impingement on exiting right nerve. I also have. A few problems at other levels but not as bad and also have the degeneration, which is basically arthritis in the spine. But im not too worried about the arthritis yet as i believe most of us have it ti some degree and plus it isn't the one causing issues its the fkn exiting nerve thats being hit by the bulging disc thats my main issue.

Another similar thing is i think its from an old car accident too. Apparently you can carry this injury for ages and then just suddenly develop pain and symptoms.

So i saw a neurosurgeon and he basically said its pretty bad and being young hed want to wait it out to see if it heals but if it gets too painful or doesn't get better in 2 months then i need surgery. He gave me a referral for a cortisone injection and i was off.

Right now i feel disabled. My tris twitch. Forearms feel week. Grip is weekend. Cant sleep on my right side. Alot of movements i cant do. Ive been on alot of pain meds to deal with it though ive reduced these the last 2 days.

So i had the cortisone injection over a week ago now. At first i was like yeh! Steroids! Little do you know fuckers.... But when i was injected though the side of the neck and told any movement can cause nerve damage... It basically wasn't too fun having to not move while you can feel a 10cm pin go into your neck, from the front, blood fkn dripping down the side and i cant fkn move!

Anyway the cortisone injection was also injected with some local anaesthetic so i felt some immediate relief. And i was told it takes about a week to really feel the benefit of cortisone.

So my verdict on the cortisone? Worth it. But both what its sold to be. I was expectingall pain to go like it does with others. But no, i had about a 60-70% reduction in pain. When its painful its stikl fkn painful. But it seems to have worked on a few of the areas that caused pain but not all. Im going to probably get another shot in a week and hopefully that gets most of the pain under control. But like i mentioned before, its not healing it , ita masking it, with the hope the body naturally puts it back into place.

Sorry bro i don't mean to hijack your thread, but i figured since we both have a similar injury we could probably use the same advice on here and save others having to reply to 2 threads?

At the moment, i its stopped me from training. I know i can't perform 80% of the movements required and its fkn depressing. I was supposed to be buying my cycle and starting by now but i fi d myself eating shit, not training and paying drs bills. Not to mention not working properly..

Going to read more into deca , sounds promising

[Paradox]

Ahahah man at least they put you to sleep.

Its just a really annoying injury location. Unlike the lower back its not easy to just strengthen the surrounding muscles. There are mucles there in the neck but you can only strength hen them so mu h before you probably cause another injury.

I think if this thing doesn't get any better over the next few months ill start seriously considering surgery. Only thing that scares me about surgery is theres a chance of permanent strength loss... Amd a month off work when ive just started a new job

Sound's pretty good. Will look up spine clinics. What kind of practitioner treated you?
Thanks

A neck specialist ... It hurt like fuck when he was doing it honestly but worth it
